What happens if we don't find out our scores in time to re-test?

Just like the title says. Somebody on this site mentioned we won't be getting scores until July 17th. The refile application deadline is July 7th in California.

Since I'm not confident in my April test, should I just re-file so I don't end up having to wait a full year to retake the test?

Anyone else in the situation or have been in it before?

Just relax, for years and years and years people have taken PE exams in your state, somewhere in that time, at least one or two people failed. I'm pretty sure that Cali worked out a solution for those folks and will have a plan for you too if that is what is needed.

In ohio the give the recent testers another month after the application deadline.

once your application is on record with your state, you do not have to go through that initial process of submitting your application. That being said, the state board will probably tell you to reapply ahead of the scores being released if you think that you might need to. It won't cost you anything either; not until the payment deadline which at that point you will Shirley know pass/fail.

Back in the day, I know OR didn't extend the filing date. Their logic was there's no harm in waiting another cycle.

Bottom line: Call CA's BPELSG and ask them... they'll tell you clearly!

Stop worrying, California results will be posted long before July 7th. Looks at the past testing cycle release dates.

+1! Don't trust what "someone on this site mentioned" when it comes to dates exams will be release nor what the cut scores will be. This is especially true when it comes to them giving specific dates. Nobody here has a crystal ball regardless of "my good sources tell me." Heck we like to mess with each other when it comes to this because it is a way of easing the frustration of it taking so long.

I am not aware of spring results ever being as late as July. California has a factor of safety built into their refile date. Rest assured. It won't be a problem.

If you're really worried: maybe you should call and ask for your results early?

They extend the re-application date.
